"Reversed" training, distance learning

"The Evolving Educational Technology Infrastructure", "Effectiveness Measures for Teaching with Technology", "Cutting-Edge Advancements of Technology for Education", "How to utilize Older Education Technology for a Longer Life", and "How to keep all this Secure".

"Unbundled" or precision learning is becoming important at my institution.

1:1

1:1, Google Classroom

1. Research skills; 2. Formats for writing such as essay, reports - Does it matter? Do we teach these skills (I do and think they are important)? 3. Please, The Digital Divide

"1. What school admins need to provide their teachers' in order to develop capacity for digital instruction. Waiting for them to retire is not an option.

2. Curriculum-driven technology purchasing. Instead of trying to provide a panacea of equipment to classrooms and leaving the teachers to figure out what to do with it schools should base academic technology purchasing on what is needed to support their curriculum goals. Oftentimes, the tail is wagging the dog. "

1) New technologies and their implementation. 2) Is innovation getting in the way?

Cons as well as pros, advantages and disadvantages, when tech is a good solution and when it isn't. We often hear from people who think technology will solve all of our problems, but in real life, tech isn't always the best solution, and sometimes it creates new problems. Let's look clearly at the situation, and remember that the pencil is also a technology.

Consciousness Based Education

Hyperlinked Library

I do so love the "theory" type presentations where we imagine what COULD and SHOULD be, but I would also encourage you to include plenty of "reality" type presentations that include info and ideas to implement TODAY without needing to overhaul the entire curriculum, schedule, and school board policies.

I need to gather requirements for Core Competency O at SJSU by Spring 2018. Anything that covers global librarianship would be welcome.

I think a growing topic is the changing nature of the physical learning space. Technology is revolutionizing they way we teach and students learn, but it is being done within the confines of traditional physical space. And this goes beyond talking about how to create a Maker Space. Second would be the impact of the affordances of digital tools and their ability to facilitate personalized learning.

I think it is important to cover how Ed Tech connects people and is accessible to everyone.

I would like to see dynamic sessions that model presence in online learning and discussions that also model presence and not just type in the box tool.

I would like to see how language art and tech are changing the way we write and communicate. Texting and the digital age have made an impact on our language. What is the affects of this, how can we help our children to be emerge 21 century communicators with evolving communication skills in writing, film making, and the other modern tech tools. So someone who can share resources and address streamlining the process of language communication and tech in education. Also someone from the maker movement, as it could apply to a marketable skill.

I would like to see ideas on how to keep the masses of available training content organized. For instance, Udemy has thousands of courses, but they are hit or miss. With content from so many places, and being sporadic, how to we choose what is best to ourselves and others we teach?

I'm overwhelmed with choices, where do I start? Digital pedagogy (not just another app)

i) How to reach marginal students, ii) How to inspire old age educators

Items that could be used in Learning Commons or classroom environment to enhance student learning....examples might be Bloxels, Virtual Reality, Sphero, Breakout Boxes and such items as these. Makerspaces/Innovation Labs information is a hot topic now for LMS and teachers.

Modern languages (ML), especially best ways to: 1. Deal with educational spaces where access to technology is limited 2. Harness the affordances of ICT based environments for ML teaching and learning. Also, research based contributions on what technology brings into education and how.

The role of schools, the structure of pedagogy and the broader use of assessment tools and how technology is an amplifier

The role of the school library in the digital world

There must be places where really new thinking is taking place. Let's hear from those folks.

Vision, Time, Access, Support and So What? Each of these deserves separate efforts to understand and to explore

Ways in which librarians play a role in the revolutionary changes we see happening in education today

Ways to implement technology -not just a paper substitute, including connecting classrooms around the world

We just need to fix the effect of our alphabet to "fix" Education. No one can hear this answer! When we all learn to read with thousands of spelling exceptions our brains shut off that sounds can work, to make all the exceptions work. We want our eye to list to the author tell their story. We are using a symbol system between to senses. With thousands of spelling exceptions we see the exceptions. We need to start teaching by ear...If the piano keys changed their sounds like our letters, would we ever be able to learn to play. For beginning reading change our letters to their best sound as letter names and use a simplified English where these sounds work at 100%. Task auditorily! 100% can easily learn to read in Kindergarten. We put all the remedial programs out of business!

Working it out with technology in the futuristic classrooms

Working with gifted kids, keeping up with research, overcoming segregation and poorly financed schools with technology, resources for rural school districts, language development and technology, science and technology

"Would love to see a collaboration between educators and industry experts to connect educators to/for what they are preparing students. What do we need to be embedding within instruction? What training do our teachers need? etc.I also think a key to continuing to making teachers relevant is their ability to inform and create content for the industry involvement pouring into public education right now. It would be cool to have a teacherprenuer session that allows teachers to explore opportunities to do so.... Also love the idea of connecting kids all over the world to solve problems. Would be cool to have various sandboxes set up that allow attendees to ""play"" and inform various platforms to facilitate this connection."
